Description

【技術分野】
【0001】
本発明は、加工食品や各種食材を電子レンジ等で加熱処理したり、医療器具を加熱殺菌したりするのに適する包装袋や包装容器の基材に適した包装材料に関するものである。
【背景技術】
【0002】
加熱処理する必要がある食材などの内容物を密封するために従来から使用されている合成樹脂フィルム製の包装袋は、内容物を入れたままで包装袋を加熱処理した後に内容物を取り出すために、次のような処置が施されている。
1.包装袋の開口する筒所にあらかじめ低融点シール剤を施し、その他の箇所は一定強度でシールしておき、包装袋の加熱により内部圧力が高くなると、低融点シール剤を施した箇所が開口する。
2.包装袋の一部をシールを施さずにしておいて、包装袋の加熱により内部圧力が高くなると、内部の蒸気がシールの施されていない箇所から包装袋の外部に逃げるようにする。
3.包装袋に蒸気孔をあけ、低融点シール剤を塗布したテープを蒸気孔に貼付しておいて、包装袋の加熱により内部圧力が高くなると低融点シール剤が融解し、テープが剥がれて内部の蒸気が蒸気孔から包装袋の外部に逃げるようにする。
4.包装袋に蒸気孔をあけ、不織布で蒸気孔をふさいでおき、包装袋の加熱により内部圧力が高くなると、内部の蒸気が不織布を通って包装袋の外部に逃げるようにする。
5.包装袋の開口する箇所を低温でシールし、その他の箇所を高温でシールしておいて、包装袋の加熱により内部圧力が高くなると、内部の蒸気が包装袋の低温でシールした箇所のシールを剥がして包装袋の外部に逃げるようにする。
6.包装袋の周縁部にあらかじめ切れ目を入れておいて、加熱処理の直前に切れ目を裂いて内部の蒸気が裂け目から包装袋の外部に逃げるようにする。
7.表フィルムと多数の小穴を穿設した裏フィルムとを張り合わせた二重フィルムで包装袋を製作しておいて、包装袋の加熱により内部圧力が高くなると、内部の蒸気が裏フィルムの小穴を通って表フィルムと裏フィルムとの間に入り、表フィルムを裏フィルムから剥がして外部に逃げるようにする。
8.包装袋の周囲にあるシール部の一部を狭い幅にして弱いシール部としておき、包装袋の加熱により内部圧力が高くなると、内部の蒸気が幅の狭い弱いシール部を開けて包装袋の外部に逃げるようにする。
【発明の概要】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
【0003】
上述した従来の包装袋は、シール部の一部が開口するため、内容物に液体が存在する場合にはこぼれやすく、シール部に予め孔を開けている場合には、外気と連通していて細菌が入りやすく、シール部の一部を融点・シール温度の差異・シール幅の差異などで開口しやすくしている場合には、温度のかかり方により開口が不安定になりやすく、開口部が大きくなって袋内の圧力保持が難しく、シール部に加工するものは、ロール状フィルム状態での自動製袋包装が困難である、などの問題があった。
又、上述した従来の包装袋は、当該包装袋を電子レンジ加熱することにより食品などの内容物に含まれる水分が水蒸気となり袋内部に充満し内圧を上昇させ、それに伴ないフィルム表面の温度が上昇し、電子レンジから取り出した直後の包装袋を素手で持つことが非常に困難であるという問題もあった。
【0004】
本発明は、このような問題を解決し、かつ、フィルムに開いた小穴が水蒸気の発生量により拡大縮小を繰り返し、内圧を常圧以上に維持することができる包装袋に適した包装材料を提供することを目的とし、さらに表面に熱遮断性柔軟シートを用いることにより内部が高温に熱せられた直後の製品を素手でつかむことが可能である包装用材料を提供する。

【課題を解決するための手段】
【0006】
請求項1の発明は、合成樹脂製延伸フィルムの最終製品の包装袋又は包装容器を形成する際にシールされる部分から離間した一部の領域に低融点のヒートシール剤塗布されており、該ヒートシール剤を塗布した領域からヒートシール剤が塗布されていない領域に亘って線又は破線で前記合成樹脂製延伸フィルムに切断線を刻設してなる合成樹脂製延伸フィルムの前記ヒートシール剤を塗布した側の面に、ヒートシール性をもつ合成樹脂製未延伸フィルムを貼り合わせてなるフィルムからなり、前記合成樹脂製未延伸フィルム側を包装される内容物側として用いることを特徴とする包装材料に係るもので、以下本発明の包装材料を包装袋に応用した場合について説明するが、合成樹脂製未延伸フィルム側を内側として袋体を形成し、その袋体の中に食品等を入れて製品とする。この包装袋を電子レンジ加熱することにより食品などの内容物に含まれる水分が水蒸気となり袋内部に充満し内圧を上昇させる。それに伴ないフィルムの温度が上昇し低融点シール剤が溶融液状化し、低融点シール剤塗布部分において、延伸フィルム基材とシーラントである未延伸フィルム間のラミネート強度を極端に低下させる。延伸フィルムの切断線下の低融点シール剤塗布部分のシーラントは内圧の上昇と共に切断線に対し直角に働く応力方向に自由に伸び広がる。しかし、低融点シール剤未塗布部分では延伸フィルム基材とシーラントのラミネート強度が強く自由に伸び広がることが出来ず境界点でシーラントを部分切断し小穴を穿つ。シーラントは未延伸フィルムでゴム弾性を持つため小穴は水蒸気の発生量により拡大縮小を繰り返し内圧を調整する機能を持つ。その間に内容物を適度に加熱する。
請求項2の発明は、合成樹脂製延伸フィルムの最終製品の包装袋又は包装容器を形成する際にシールされる部分から離間した一部の領域に剥離剤塗布されており、該剥離剤を塗布した領域から剥離剤が塗布されていない領域に亘って線又は破線で前記合成樹脂製延伸フィルムに切断線を刻設してなる合成樹脂製延伸フィルムの前記剥離剤を塗布した側の面にヒートシール性をもつ合成樹脂製未延伸フィルムを貼り合わせてなるフィルムからなり、前記合成樹脂製未延伸フィルム側を包装される内容物側として用いることを特徴とする包装材料に係るもので、かかる材料を用いて請求項第1項について述べたと同様に作成した包装袋を電子レンジ加熱することにより食品などの内容物に含まれる水分が水蒸気となり袋内部に充満し内圧を上昇させる。それに伴ないフィルムの温度が上昇しシーラントが軟化する。延伸フィルムの切断線下の剥離剤塗布部分のシーラントは内圧の上昇と共に切断線に対し直角に働く応力方向に自由に伸び広がる。しかし、剥離剤未塗布部分では延伸フィルム基材とシーラントのラミネート強度が強く自由に伸び広がることが出来ず境界点でシーラントを部分切断し小穴を穿つ。シーラントは未延伸フィルムでゴム弾性を持つため小穴は水蒸気の発生量により拡大縮小を繰り返し内圧を調整する機能を持つ。
延伸フィルムとしては一軸延伸フィルム、及び二軸延伸フィルムが挙げられる。一軸延伸フィルムは縦もしくは横の一方向に伸び難い性質を持つ。二軸延伸フィルムは縦にも横にも伸び難いフィルムで印刷加工や積層複合加工などに優れた機械適正を持つため基材として用いられる。
未延伸フィルムは縦にも横にも伸び易く、衝撃に対して非常に強い。ポリエチレンやポリプロピレンの未延伸フィルムは非常に安定したヒートシール性とヒートシール強度を持つため包装用積層材のシーラントとして広く採用されている。
汎用延伸フィルムにはポリエチレンテレフタレート樹脂(PET)製、ポリプロピレン樹脂(PP)製、ポリアミド樹脂(PA)製などがあり、シーラント用未延伸フィルムは前述のポリエチレン(PE)製やポリプロピレン(PP)製が一般的である。
本発明では延伸フィルムと未延伸フィルムの特性の差を利用して、両者の接合部付近に加熱による内圧の応力を集中させ、ここに小穴をあけて、水蒸気を排出させつつ内圧を常圧以上に保持する。
請求項3の発明は、請求項又は請求項のいずれかに記載の包装材料において、合成樹脂製延伸フィルム側の表面に熱遮断性柔軟シートを重ね合わせて一部分もしくは全面を貼り合わせたことを特徴とする包装材料に係るもので、かかる材料を用いた包装袋は請求項1第1項又は請求項2第2項に記載された発明と同様の機能を有し内容物の加熱を行う。加熱に当たり、小穴が穿たれて内圧を調整する機能は熱遮断性柔軟シートが多孔質であるために部分的に開口し易く、阻害されることがない。更に表面に貼り合わせた熱遮断性柔軟シートは熱伝導率が非常に低いため包装袋内部で上昇した熱を断熱する機能を有する。従って、電子レンジ等で加熱した直後であっても、蒸気吹出部周辺以外は直ちに素手で掴むことができる。
表面に貼り合わせた熱遮断性柔軟シートとしては、発泡ポリエチレンシート、発泡ポリプロピレンシート、発泡ポリスチレンシート又は不織布等が用いられる。これらの素材は比重が軽く、断熱性に優れており、経年変化も少なく、紫外線劣化に強く、安価に製造し得るという特徴を有している。
請求項4に係る発明は、請求項1〜3のいずれかに記載の包装材料であって、余剰部分を設けた蓋材と、当該蓋材をヒートシールにて貼着した容器と、余剰部分を容器上端より垂下したフラップ部を設け、フラップ部の端部を容器に接着した包装材料である。貼着は容器の側面でもよいし底面でもよく、貼着方法としてはヒートシールや粘着剤等が用いられる。フラップ部に商品名や品質表示等を印刷することにより、商品情報を大幅に増やすことができるという特徴を有している。
請求項5の発明は、請求項1〜3のいずれかの包装材料によって加工食品、各種食材、医療器具又は容器を密封包装してなる包装製品に係るものである。
密封包装することにより内容物を雑菌から保護することができ、又、直接電子レンジ加熱することにより、内容物が食品の場合には手軽に調理することができる。又、加熱した直後の包装製品を直接素手で取り出すことが可能である。
【0007】
以下、本発明を実施するための最良の態様を、図に基づいて説明する。
第1図は、請求項1の包装材料をもって作成した包装袋についての実施の形態の一例を示す斜視図、第2図は、第1図のII−II断面図であって、包装袋1は第2図に示すように合成樹脂製の延伸フィルム2と、ヒートシール性をもつ合成樹脂製の未延伸フィルム3とを未延伸フィルム3が内側になるようにして製作したものである。
包装袋1の表側にする延伸フィルム2には、第1図に示すように、最終製品の包装袋を形成する際にシールされる部分から離間した一部の領域に所要幅で両端が例えば逆矢絣形になるように低融点のヒートシール剤4を裏側より塗布し、このヒートシール剤4を塗布した箇所を通過するように、すなわち、ヒートシール剤を塗布した領域からヒートシール剤が塗布されていない領域に亘って、延伸フィルム2に切断線5を刻設する。
【0008】
このように低融点のヒートシール剤4を塗布して切断線5を刻設した延伸フィルム2に対して、その裏側にヒートシール性をもつ合成樹脂製の未延伸フィルム3を重ね、延伸フィルム2と未延伸フィルム3とを接着剤で貼り合わせ接着する。更に左右の両側をわずかの幅で重ね合わせ、ヒートシールにより縦方向接着部6を形成して平たい筒形状とし、その例えば手前側を第1図に示すように縦方向接着部6に対して直交する方向にヒートシールして横方向接着部7を形成する。これによって、第1図における上方の縁部が未接着の包装袋1が完成することになる。
【0009】
この未接着の縁部側から包装袋1の中に、加工食品、各種食材、医療器具などの内容物8(第2図参照)を入れ、第1図における上側の横方向接着部9をヒートシールにより形成すると、延伸フィルム2と未延伸フィルム3とを重ねて製作した包装袋1によって、内容物8は密封状態で包装されることになる。
なお、上述した延伸フィルム2の所要箇所への塗布剤は、ヒートシール剤4ではなく請求項2における剥離剤を使用してもよい。
【0010】
次に、このように内容物8を密封状態で包装した包装袋1を電子レンジ等に入れ、加熱処理を施した際の作用を説明する。
包装袋1を電子レンジ等に入れて加熱すると、第4図に示すように内容物8に含まれている水分が水蒸気10になって蒸発し、この蒸気と空気とが混合して包装袋1内の圧力が上昇する。このため未延伸フィルム3は、外側に貼り合わされている延伸フィルム2を押し広げながら、第3図、第4図に示すように切断線5に対して直角方向に伸び始める。
【0011】
包装袋1内の圧力がさらに上昇することにより、延伸フィルム2は切断部分が広がり、未延伸フィルム3はその伸びる領域が広がってゆき、低融点のヒートシール剤4が塗布されている場合にはその溶融により、剥離剤が塗布されている場合にはその低摩擦性により、塗布してある箇所から延伸フィルム2と未延伸フィルム3との剥離が始まり、第5図、第6図に示すようにヒートシール剤4または剥離剤が塗布されている箇所の切断線5が切断されて、延伸フィルム2は開口し始める。
【0012】
延伸フィルム2が開口し始めた後も未延伸フィルム3は伸びようとするが、ヒートシール剤4または剥離剤が塗布されている箇所のみが伸びて、塗布されていない他の部分は伸びないため、ヒートシール剤4または剥離剤が塗布されている箇所と塗布されていない箇所の境界点に応力が集中し、第7図に示すように切断線5の開口した箇所の両端で未延伸フィルム3に小穴11が開くようになる。
このとき袋幅をLとしたとき逆矢絣の先端部a(第1図)と袋シール端部b(第1図)の距離は0.2〜0.3Lが望ましい。(第5図)
【0013】
未延伸フィルム3に小穴11が開くと、包装袋1内の水蒸気10(第8図参照)は、小穴11、延伸フィルム2の切断線5が開口した筒所を通って包装袋1の外部に排出するようになる。水蒸気10が外部に排出することにより、包装袋1内の圧力は低下して未延伸フィルム3の伸び率も減少し、小穴11は小さくなって殆ど閉鎖状態になる。
【0014】
小穴11が閉鎖状態になると包装袋1内の圧力は再び上昇し、未延伸フィルム3を伸ばして小穴11を大きくし、再び包装袋1内の水蒸気10を外部に排出し、包装袋1内の圧力は低下する。
このように小穴11の拡大縮小により、包装袋1内の圧力低下上昇が繰り返され、包装袋1内の圧力は常圧より高い一定の範囲に安定的に保持され、加熱時間は従来よりも短縮されるようになる。
この際、内容物8の水分含有率が低い場合には、水分を含ませた補水パッドを包装袋内に入れると、加熱時に失われる水分を補う作用が働き充分な蒸し効果が得られる。
【0015】
第9図は、包装袋についての請求項3に係る発明の実施の形態の一例を示す斜視図、第10図は、第9図のX−X断面図であって、本発明の包装袋12は、第10図に示すように熱遮断性柔軟シート13と、合成樹脂製の延伸フィルム2と、ヒートシール性をもつ合成樹脂製の未延伸フィルム3とを三層状になるように重ねて製作したものである。
第9図に破線で示すように所要幅で両端が例えば逆矢絣形になるように低融点のヒートシール剤4を延伸フィルム2側より塗布し、このヒートシール剤4を塗布した箇所を通過するように、延伸フィルム2に切断線5を刻設する。更に延伸フィルム2の外側に第10図に示すように熱遮断性柔軟シート13を貼り合わせる。
【0016】
このように熱遮断性柔軟シート13及び低融点のヒートシール剤4を裏側より塗布して切断線5を刻設した延伸フィルム2に対して、その延伸フィルム2側にヒートシール性をもつ合成樹脂製の未延伸フィルム3を重ね、延伸フィルム2と未延伸フィルム3とを接着剤で貼り合わせ接着する。更に左右の両側をわずかの幅で重ね合わせ、ヒートシールにより縦方向接着部6を形成して平たい筒形状とし、その例えば手前側を、第9図に示すように縦方向接着部6に対して直交する方向にヒートシールして横方向接着部7を形成する。これによって、第9図における上方の縁部が未接着の包装袋12が完成することになる。
【0017】
この未接着の縁部側から包装袋12の中に、加工食品、各種食材、医療器具などの内容物8(第10図参照)を入れ、第9図における上側の横方向接着部9をヒートシールにより形成すると、熱遮断性柔軟シート13、延伸フィルム2と未延伸フィルム3とを重ねて製作した包装袋12によって、内容物8は密封状態で包装されることになる。
なお、上述した延伸フィルム2の所要箇所への塗布剤は、ヒートシール剤4ではなく剥離剤を使用してもよい。
【0018】
次に、このように内容物8を密封状態で包装した包装袋12を電子レンジ等に入れ、加熱処理を施した際の作用を説明する。
包装袋12を電子レンジ等に入れて加熱すると、第13図に示すように内容物8に含まれている水分が水蒸気10になって蒸発し、この蒸気と空気とが混合して包装袋12内の圧力が上昇する。このため未延伸フィルム3は、中間に貼り合わされている延伸フィルム2及び外側の熱遮断性柔軟シート13を広げながら、第14図に示すように切断線5に対して直角方向に伸び始める。
包装袋12内の圧力がさらに上昇することにより、延伸フィルム2の破断部分5は広がり、延伸フィルムと接着した外側の熱遮断性柔軟シート13に切れ目が生ずる。更に未延伸フィルム3はその伸びる領域が広がってゆき、低融点のヒートシール剤4が塗布されている場合にはその溶融により、剥離剤が塗布されている場合にはその低摩擦性により、塗布してある箇所から延伸フィルム2と未延伸フィルム3との剥離が始まり、第14図に示すようにヒートシール剤4または剥離剤が塗布されている箇所の切断線5が切断されて、熱遮断性柔軟シート図11、13及び延伸フィルム2は開口し始める。
【0019】
熱遮断性柔軟シート13及び延伸フィルム2が開口し始めた後も未延伸フィルム3は伸びようとするが、ヒートシール剤4または剥離剤が塗布されている箇所のみが伸びて、塗布されていない他の部分は伸びないため、ヒートシール剤4または剥離剤が塗布されている箇所と塗布されていない箇所の境界点に応力が集中し、第14図に示すように切断線5の開口した箇所の両端で未延伸フィルム3に小穴11が開くようになる。このとき袋幅をLとしたとき逆矢絣の先端部a(第9図)と袋シール端部b(第9図)の距離は0.2〜0.3Lが望ましい。(第12図)
【0020】
未延伸フィルム3に小穴11が開くと、包装袋12内の水蒸気10(第13図参照)は、小穴11、延伸フィルム2の切断線5が開口した箇所を通って包装袋12の外部に排出するようになる。水蒸気10が外部に排出することにより、包装袋12内の圧力は低下して未延伸フィルム3の伸び率も減少し、小穴11は小さくなって殆ど閉鎖状態になる。
小穴11が閉鎖状態になると包装袋12内の圧力は再び上昇し、未延伸フィルム3を伸ばして小穴11を大きくし、再び包装袋12内の水蒸気10を外部に排出し、包装袋12内の圧力は低下する。
【0021】
このように小穴11の拡大縮小により、包装袋12内の圧力の低下上昇が繰り返され、包装袋12内の圧力は常圧より高い一定の範囲に安定的に保持され、加熱時間は従来よりも短縮されるようになる。
この際、内容物8の水分含有率が低い場合には、水分を含ませた補水パッドを包装袋内に入れると、加熱時に失われる水分を補う作用が働き充分な蒸し効果が得られる。
【0022】
第15図は包装袋についての本発明外の包装材料の形態を示す断面図であって、この包装袋14は、第15図に示すように熱遮断性柔軟シート13と、ヒートシール性をもつ合成樹脂製の未延伸フィルム3とを二層状になるように重ねて製作したものである。
このように熱遮断性柔軟シート13に、切断線5を刻設したヒートシール性をもつ合成樹脂製の未延伸フィルム3を重ね、熱遮断性柔軟シート13と未延伸フィルム3とを接着剤等で貼り合わせ接着する。更に第16図に示すように左右の両側をわずかの幅で重ね合わせ、ヒートシールにより縦方向接着部6を形成して平たい筒形状とし、その例えば手前側を、縦方向接着部6に対して直交する方向にヒートシールして横方向接着部7を形成する。これによって、第16図における上方の縁部が未接着の包装袋14が完成することになる。
【0023】
この未接着の縁部側から包装袋14の中に、加工食品、各種食材、医療器具などの内容物8(第15図参照)を入れ、第16図における上側の横方向接着部9をヒートシールにより形成すると、熱遮断性柔軟シート13と未延伸フィルム3とを重ねて製作した包装袋14によって、内容物8は密封状態で包装されることになる。
【0024】
次に、このように内容物8を密封状態で包装した包装袋14を電子レンジ等に入れ、加熱処理を施した際の作用を説明する。
包装袋14を電子レンジ等に入れて加熱すると、第17図に示すように内容物8に含まれている水分が水蒸気10になって蒸発し、この蒸気と空気とが混合して包装袋14内の圧力が上昇する。このため未延伸フィルム3は、外側の熱遮断性柔軟シート13を広げながら、第16図、第17図に示すように切断線5に対して直角方向に伸び始める。
包装袋14内の圧力がさらに上昇することにより、未延伸フィルム3の切断部分5は広がり、外側の熱遮断性柔軟シート13に切れ目が生ずる。更に未延伸フィルム3の切断部分5は直角方向に広がっていくため、熱遮断性柔軟シート13は開口し始める。
【0025】
熱遮断性柔軟シート13が開口すると、包装袋14内の水蒸気10(第17図参照)は、開口部15を通って包装袋14の外部に排出するようになる。水蒸気10が外部に排出することにより、包装袋14内の圧力は低下して未延伸フィルム3の伸び率も減少し、開口部15は小さくなって閉鎖状態になる。
開口部15が閉鎖状態になると包装袋14内の圧力は再び上昇し、未延伸フィルム3の切断部分5は広がり熱遮断性柔軟シートの開口部15を広げ、再び包装袋14内の水蒸気10を外部に排出し、包装袋14内の圧力は低下する。
このように開口部15の拡大縮小により、包装袋14内の圧力低下上昇が繰り返され、包装袋14内の圧力は常圧より高い一定の範囲に安定的に保持され、加熱時間は従来よりも短縮されるようになる。
この際、内容物8の水分含有率が低い場合には、水分を含ませた補水パッドを包装袋内に入れると、加熱時に失われる水分を補う作用が働き充分な蒸し効果が得られる。
【0026】
上述した構造と機能を備えた本発明積層フィルム16をロール状に巻き取り食品17の自動包装に供することが出来る。たとえば第18図の如く横型ピロータイプ自動包装機では食品17を包装部18で円筒状に包み込み背部分を連続的にヒートシールする。続いて背シールに対し直角に袋頭部・尻部に当たる部分をヒートシールしその中央部分を切断し包装を完了する。電子レンジ加熱時の開穴部分は袋の表面に位置し包装袋を密封する為に施すヒートシールは関与していない。食品メーカーではメーカーの所有する自動包装機の機種や方式に制限されることなく本フィルムを採用することが可能となる。

次に本発明の低融点ヒートシールタイプの包装材料でつくった包装袋に市販の各種冷凍食品をつめかえ、上記と同様の条件にて小穴が開くまでの時間を測定し、かつ小穴の状態を観察した。
実施例2における各試験により小穴が開くまでの時間及び開口する時の最大開口幅は、実施例1とほぼ同じ結果となることが判った。
又、電子レンジ加熱直後の体感温度は、加熱直後に電子レンジから取り出した包装袋を素手で持つことに何ら支障はない程度であることも明らかとなった。
【0034】
実施例3(包装製品としての実施例)
熱遮断性柔軟シート(外側材)として厚さ300μmの発泡ポリエチレンシートを、切断線の刻設された未延伸フィルム(内側材)として厚さ40μmのポリプロピレンフィルムを用いて図15に示す包装袋を作製した(発泡PE+切断線入りCPPフィルム)。これに市販のさつまいもを入れて密封し包装製品とした。この包装製品を高周波出力1500Wの電子レンジに入れて2分間加熱した。加熱にしたがって蒸気が発生し、内圧が高まってきて、やがて、外側の発泡ポリエチレンシートに切れ目が生じ開口する状態を確認した。この際、加熱前と加熱後のじゃがいもの重量を測定し、加熱によって失われる水分蒸発量を算出し、中心温度を測定した。
また他の包装材料を用いた包装製品との比較試験を行った。即ちポリプロピレントレイ(PPトレイ)にじゃがいもを入れ塩化ビニルラップ(三菱樹脂製)で包装したもの及びポリプロピレントレイにじゃがいもを入れそのまま電子レンジ加熱したものについても同様の条件下において比較検証をした。
更に上記三種類の包装製品を電子レンジ加熱直後に取り出し、実験者が直接触れる事により、更に包装袋から取り出したじゃがいもを食することにより、それぞれ触覚、味覚による官能検査を行った。結果は表4に示すとおりであった。

上記表4及び5中、体感温度における×とは、電子レンジ加熱直後の包装製品を素手で持つことができない状態を示し、◎は加熱直後に電子レンジから取り出した包装袋を素手で持つことに何ら支障がない程度の状態を示している。
上記の比較検証により、下記のことが判った。
1)重量減少率の比較より、発泡PE+切断線入りCPPフィルムを用いた包装製品が最も重量減少率が低いことが判った。従って発泡PE+切断線入りCPPフィルムを用いた包装袋は水分を保持したまま内容物である芋を加熱し、開口機能により適度な圧力調整がなされることが判明した。この作用により発泡PE+切断線入りCPPフィルムを用いた包装製品は、他の容器を使用した製品のようにパサパサとした仕上がりとならず、ホカホカ感を有している。
2)又、断熱材の中で適度に蒸らされるため、内容物の蒸し効果にムラがなく均一な仕上がりとなることが判った。
3)加熱後の芋の中心温度が最も高いのは、発泡PE+切断線入りCPPフィルムを用いた包装製品であった。従って発泡PE+切断線入りCPPフィルムの外側材である断熱材が熱の飛散を防ぐことから優れた昇温効果を具備していることが判明した。

実施例4(容器の蓋材としての実施例)
第20図に示すような形態で幅115mm×長128mm×高さ40mmのポリプロピレン樹脂製耐熱容器20に固形量107g液汁113ccのおでんを充填し、低融点シール剤塗布部分(A)と切断線(a)を持つ蓋フィルム19をヒートシールにて密封する。蓋フィルム19の層構成は延伸ポリエチレンテレフタレートフィルム(PET)12μ/未延伸ポリプロピレン(CPP)30μを使用した。
500Wの電子レンジで加熱をしたところ、55秒で蓋フィルム19が徐々に膨張をはじめて70秒で切断線(a)が広がり、75秒で境界部分(b)に小穴が開き蒸気を排気しながら蒸しの状態に入った。その際液汁のふきこぼれもなく安定していた。90秒で加熱を止め容器20を取り出し開封しおでんが十分加熱されていることを確認した。
【0039】
実施例5(フラップ部を有する包装材料の実施例)
第21図に示すような形態で幅115mm×長128mm×高さ40mmのポリプロピレン樹脂製耐熱容器20の開口部に、低融点シール剤塗布部分(A)と切断線(a)を持ち、かつフラップ部(c)を有する蓋フィルム21をヒートシールにて貼着密封する。又、フラップ部(c)を第22図に示すように容器20の側面に粘着剤22で貼着した。当該蓋フィルム21の全面に印刷を施しその印刷可能面積を計測したところ、蓋部分(上面)のみの印刷面積は147.2cmであり、容器側面部の面積は102.4cmであった。従って印刷総面積は249.6cmとなった。即ち、フラップ部(c)を有する包装材料はフラップ部を有しない包装材料に比較して、印刷可能面積は1.696倍となり、商品情報量が69.6%増加することとなる。

[0001]
The present invention relates to a packaging material suitable for a base material of a packaging bag or a packaging container suitable for heat-treating processed foods and various foods with a microwave oven or the like, or heat-sterilizing medical instruments.
[Background]
[0002]
To seal contents such as ingredients that need to be heat-treated, a packaging bag made of a synthetic resin film has been used to remove the contents after heat-treating the packaging bag with the contents still inside. The following measures are taken.
1. Apply a low-melting point sealing agent to the opening of the packaging bag in advance, seal the other parts with a certain strength, and when the internal pressure increases due to heating of the packaging bag, the part where the low-melting point sealing agent is applied opens. .
2. If a part of the packaging bag is not sealed and the internal pressure is increased due to heating of the packaging bag, the internal steam escapes from the portion where the sealing is not performed to the outside of the packaging bag.
3. Vapor holes are made in the packaging bag, and a tape coated with a low melting point sealant is applied to the vapor holes. When the internal pressure increases due to heating of the packaging bag, the low melting point sealant melts and the tape peels off Let the steam escape from the steam hole to the outside of the packaging bag.
4). Vapor holes are made in the packaging bag, the vapor holes are blocked with a non-woven fabric, and when the internal pressure increases due to heating of the packaging bag, the internal vapor escapes through the non-woven fabric to the outside of the packaging bag.
5). Seal the opening of the packaging bag at a low temperature, and seal the other parts at a high temperature, and if the internal pressure increases due to heating of the packaging bag, seal the location where the internal steam is sealed at the low temperature of the packaging bag. Remove it so that it escapes to the outside of the packaging bag.
6). A cut is made in advance in the peripheral edge of the packaging bag, and the cut is split immediately before the heat treatment so that the internal vapor escapes from the tear to the outside of the packaging bag.
7). When a packaging bag is manufactured with a double film that is a laminate of a front film and a back film with many small holes, and the internal pressure increases due to heating of the packaging bag, the internal vapor passes through the small holes in the back film. Between the front film and the back film, peel off the front film from the back film and escape to the outside.
8). A part of the seal part around the packaging bag is made narrow to make it a weak seal part, and when the internal pressure rises due to heating of the packaging bag, the internal steam opens the weak seal part with a narrow width to the outside of the packaging bag. To escape.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
[0003]
Since the conventional packaging bag described above has a part of the seal portion that is open, it easily spills when liquid is present in the contents, and communicates with the outside air if the seal portion is previously perforated. If bacteria are easy to enter and a part of the seal part is easy to open due to differences in melting point, seal temperature, seal width, etc., the opening tends to become unstable depending on how the temperature is applied. There is a problem that it is difficult to maintain the pressure in the bag because it is large, and the one that is processed into a seal portion has difficulty in automatic bag making and packaging in a roll film state.
In addition, in the conventional packaging bag described above, by heating the packaging bag in a microwave oven, moisture contained in the contents such as food becomes water vapor and fills the inside of the bag to increase the internal pressure. There was also a problem that it was very difficult to hold the packaging bag immediately after taking out from the microwave oven with bare hands.
[0004]
The present invention provides a packaging material suitable for a packaging bag that solves such problems, and that allows small holes opened in the film to repeatedly expand and contract depending on the amount of water vapor generated, so that the internal pressure can be maintained at or above normal pressure. Further, the present invention provides a packaging material that can hold a product immediately after the inside is heated to a high temperature with a bare hand by using a heat-blocking flexible sheet on the surface.

[Means for Solving the Problems]
[0006]
The invention of claim 1 is a stretched film made of synthetic resin. In some areas spaced from the part to be sealed when forming the final product packaging bag or container Low melting point heat sealant But Coating Has been The heat sealing agent was applied From the area to the area where the heat sealant is not applied A synthetic resin unstretched film having heat sealability is attached to the surface of the stretched synthetic resin film formed by cutting a cut line on the synthetic resin stretched film with a line or a broken line, on the side where the heat sealant is applied. Concerning a packaging material comprising a film made of the above, wherein the synthetic resin unstretched film side is used as a packaged content side, and the case where the packaging material of the present invention is applied to a packaging bag hereinafter As will be described, a bag body is formed with the unstretched film side made of a synthetic resin as the inner side, and food or the like is put into the bag body to obtain a product. When the packaging bag is heated in a microwave oven, moisture contained in the contents such as food becomes water vapor and fills the bag to increase the internal pressure. As a result, the temperature of the film rises and the low melting point sealant melts and liquefies, and the laminate strength between the stretched film substrate and the unstretched film that is the sealant is extremely lowered at the portion where the low melting point sealant is applied. The sealant at the portion where the low-melting-point sealant is applied under the cut line of the stretched film freely expands and spreads in the direction of stress acting perpendicular to the cut line as the internal pressure increases. However, in the portion where the low melting point sealant has not been applied, the laminate film base material and the sealant have a strong laminate strength and cannot be freely stretched and spread, and the sealant is partially cut at the boundary points to form small holes. Since the sealant is an unstretched film and has rubber elasticity, the small holes have the function of adjusting the internal pressure by repeatedly expanding and reducing the amount of water vapor generated. In the meantime, the contents are heated moderately.
The invention of claim 2 is a stretched film made of synthetic resin. In some areas spaced from the part to be sealed when forming the final product packaging bag or container paint remover But Coating Has been The release agent was applied From the area to the area where the release agent is not applied A synthetic resin unstretched film having heat sealability is bonded to the surface of the synthetic resin stretched film formed by engraving cutting lines on the synthetic resin stretched film with a line or a broken line on the side where the release agent is applied. A non-stretched film side made of a synthetic resin is used as a packaged content side, and is prepared in the same manner as described in claim 1 using such a material. When the packaging bag is heated in a microwave oven, the moisture contained in the contents such as food becomes water vapor and fills the bag to increase the internal pressure. As a result, the temperature of the film rises and the sealant softens. The sealant in the part where the release agent is applied under the cut line of the stretched film freely expands and spreads in the direction of stress acting perpendicular to the cut line as the internal pressure increases. However, in the part where the release agent is not applied, the laminated film base material and the sealant have a strong laminate strength and cannot stretch and spread freely, and the sealant is partially cut at the boundary points to make small holes. Since the sealant is an unstretched film and has rubber elasticity, the small holes have the function of adjusting the internal pressure by repeatedly expanding and reducing the amount of water vapor generated.
Examples of the stretched film include a uniaxially stretched film and a biaxially stretched film. A uniaxially stretched film has a property that it is difficult to stretch in one longitudinal or lateral direction. A biaxially stretched film is a film that is difficult to stretch both vertically and horizontally, and is used as a base material because it has excellent mechanical suitability for printing processing and laminated composite processing.
An unstretched film is easy to stretch both vertically and horizontally and is very resistant to impact. Unstretched polyethylene and polypropylene films are widely used as sealants for packaging laminates because of their extremely stable heat sealability and heat seal strength.
General-purpose stretched films include polyethylene terephthalate resin (PET), polypropylene resin (PP), and polyamide resin (PA). Unstretched films for sealants are made of polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP). It is common.
In the present invention, utilizing the difference between the properties of the stretched film and the unstretched film, the stress of the internal pressure due to heating is concentrated near the joint between the two, and a small hole is made here to discharge the water vapor and the internal pressure exceeds the normal pressure. Hold on.
The invention of claim 3 is claimed in claim 1 Or claims 2 In the packaging material according to any one of the above, the packaging material is characterized in that a heat-shielding flexible sheet is superimposed on the surface of the synthetic resin stretched film side and a part or the whole surface is bonded, and the material is The used packaging bag has the same function as the invention described in claim 1 or claim 2 and heats the contents. In the heating, the function of adjusting the internal pressure by making a small hole is easy to open partially because the heat-insulating flexible sheet is porous, and is not hindered. Furthermore, since the heat-shielding flexible sheet bonded to the surface has a very low thermal conductivity, it has a function of insulating the heat raised inside the packaging bag. Therefore, even immediately after heating with a microwave oven or the like, it can be immediately grasped with bare hands except for the vicinity of the steam blowing portion.
A foamed polyethylene sheet, a foamed polypropylene sheet, a foamed polystyrene sheet, a nonwoven fabric, or the like is used as the heat-blocking flexible sheet bonded to the surface. These materials are characterized by low specific gravity, excellent heat insulation, little secular change, resistance to UV degradation, and low cost production.
The invention according to claim 4 is the packaging material according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the lid member provided with the surplus portion, the container in which the lid member is adhered by heat sealing, and the surplus portion Is a packaging material in which a flap part is provided to hang down from the upper end of the container, and the end of the flap part is adhered to the container. Adhesion may be on the side surface or bottom surface of the container, and a heat seal, an adhesive, or the like is used as an adhesion method. It has a feature that product information can be greatly increased by printing a product name, quality display, etc. on the flap part.
The invention of claim 5 relates to a packaged product obtained by sealing and packaging processed food, various foodstuffs, medical instruments or containers with the packaging material of any one of claims 1 to 3.
The contents can be protected from various germs by hermetically wrapping, and can be easily cooked if the contents are food by direct microwave heating. Moreover, it is possible to take out the packaged product immediately after heating directly with bare hands.
[0007]
Hereinafter, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an example of an embodiment of a packaging bag made with the packaging material of claim 1, FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line II-II of FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, a synthetic resin stretched film 2 and a heat-sealable synthetic resin unstretched film 3 are produced with the unstretched film 3 on the inside.
In the stretched film 2 on the front side of the packaging bag 1, as shown in FIG. In some areas spaced from the part to be sealed when forming the final product packaging bag Apply the heat-melting agent 4 with a low melting point from the back side so that both ends have, for example, reverse arrowhead shape with the required width, and pass through the place where this heat-sealing agent 4 is applied, That is, from the area where the heat sealant is applied to the area where the heat sealant is not applied The cutting line 5 is engraved on the stretched film 2.
[0008]
The stretched film 2 thus coated with the low melting point heat sealant 4 and engraved with the cutting line 5 is overlapped with an unstretched film 3 made of synthetic resin having heat sealability on the back side, and the stretched film 2 And the unstretched film 3 are bonded together with an adhesive. Further, the left and right sides are overlapped with a slight width, and the vertical adhesive portion 6 is formed by heat sealing to form a flat cylindrical shape. For example, the front side thereof is orthogonal to the vertical adhesive portion 6 as shown in FIG. The horizontal adhesive part 7 is formed by heat-sealing in the direction to be performed. As a result, the packaging bag 1 whose upper edge in FIG. 1 is not bonded is completed.
[0009]
Contents 8 (see FIG. 2) such as processed food, various foodstuffs, and medical instruments are put into the packaging bag 1 from the unbonded edge side, and the upper lateral adhesive portion 9 in FIG. 1 is heated. When formed by sealing, the contents 8 are packaged in a sealed state by the packaging bag 1 produced by stacking the stretched film 2 and the unstretched film 3.
In addition, the coating agent to the required location of the stretched film 2 mentioned above is not the heat seal agent 4 Claim 2 A release agent may be used.
[0010]
Next, the effect | action at the time of putting the packaging bag 1 which packaged the content 8 in the sealed state in this way into a microwave oven etc. and performing heat processing is demonstrated.
When the packaging bag 1 is heated in a microwave oven or the like, the moisture contained in the contents 8 evaporates as water vapor 10 as shown in FIG. 4, and the vapor and air are mixed to form the packaging bag 1. The pressure inside rises. Therefore, the unstretched film 3 starts to extend in a direction perpendicular to the cutting line 5 as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 while spreading the stretched film 2 bonded to the outside.
[0011]
When the pressure in the packaging bag 1 is further increased, the stretched film 2 is expanded in the cut portion, the unstretched film 3 is expanded in the stretched area, and the low melting point heat sealant 4 is applied. When the release agent is applied due to the melting, peeling of the stretched film 2 and the unstretched film 3 starts from the applied location due to the low friction property, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. The cut line 5 where the heat sealant 4 or the release agent is applied is cut, and the stretched film 2 begins to open.
[0012]
Even after the stretched film 2 starts to open, the unstretched film 3 tries to stretch, but only the portion where the heat seal agent 4 or the release agent is applied is stretched, and other portions not coated are not stretched. The stress is concentrated at the boundary point between the place where the heat sealing agent 4 or the release agent is applied and the place where the release agent is not applied, and the unstretched film 3 is formed at both ends of the opening of the cutting line 5 as shown in FIG. The small hole 11 comes to open.
At this time, when the bag width is L, the distance between the tip a of the reverse arrowhead (FIG. 1) and the bag seal end b (FIG. 1) is preferably 0.2 to 0.3L. (Fig. 5)
[0013]
When the small hole 11 is opened in the unstretched film 3, the water vapor 10 (see FIG. 8) in the packaging bag 1 passes through the small hole 11 and the tubular portion where the cutting line 5 of the stretched film 2 is opened to the outside of the packaging bag 1. It comes to discharge. When the water vapor 10 is discharged to the outside, the pressure in the packaging bag 1 is lowered, the elongation rate of the unstretched film 3 is also reduced, and the small holes 11 are made small and almost closed.
[0014]
When the small hole 11 is closed, the pressure in the packaging bag 1 rises again, the unstretched film 3 is stretched to enlarge the small hole 11, the water vapor 10 in the packaging bag 1 is discharged to the outside, and the inside of the packaging bag 1 is discharged. The pressure drops.
Thus, the expansion and contraction of the small holes 11 repeatedly increase and decrease the pressure in the packaging bag 1, the pressure in the packaging bag 1 is stably maintained in a certain range higher than the normal pressure, and the heating time is shorter than before. Will come to be.
At this time, when the moisture content of the contents 8 is low, when a water replenishment pad soaked with water is placed in the packaging bag, the action of supplementing the water lost during heating works and a sufficient steaming effect is obtained.
[0015]
Figure 9 shows the packaging bag Claim 3 FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line XX of FIG. 9, and the packaging bag 12 of the present invention has a thermal barrier property as shown in FIG. The flexible sheet 13, the stretched film 2 made of synthetic resin, and the unstretched film 3 made of synthetic resin having heat sealability are laminated in a three-layer shape.
As shown by a broken line in FIG. 9, a low-melting-point heat sealant 4 is applied from the stretched film 2 side so that both ends have a reverse width, for example, with a required width, and passes through the place where the heat sealant 4 is applied. Thus, the cutting line 5 is engraved on the stretched film 2. Further, a heat-blocking flexible sheet 13 is bonded to the outside of the stretched film 2 as shown in FIG.
[0016]
A synthetic resin having heat-sealability on the stretched film 2 side of the stretched film 2 thus coated with the heat-blocking flexible sheet 13 and the low-melting heat sealant 4 from the back side and engraved with the cutting line 5. The produced unstretched film 3 is stacked, and the stretched film 2 and the unstretched film 3 are bonded and bonded together with an adhesive. Further, the left and right sides are overlapped with a slight width, and the longitudinal adhesive portion 6 is formed by heat sealing to form a flat cylindrical shape. For example, the front side thereof is connected to the longitudinal adhesive portion 6 as shown in FIG. The transverse adhesive portion 7 is formed by heat sealing in the orthogonal direction. As a result, the packaging bag 12 whose upper edge in FIG. 9 is not bonded is completed.
[0017]
Contents 8 (see FIG. 10) such as processed foods, various foods, and medical instruments are put into the packaging bag 12 from the unbonded edge side, and the upper lateral adhesive portion 9 in FIG. 9 is heated. When formed by sealing, the contents 8 are packaged in a sealed state by the packaging bag 12 produced by stacking the heat-shielding flexible sheet 13, the stretched film 2 and the unstretched film 3.
In addition, you may use the peeling agent instead of the heat seal agent 4 for the coating agent to the required location of the stretched film 2 mentioned above.
[0018]
Next, the effect | action at the time of putting the packaging bag 12 which packaged the contents 8 in the sealed state in this way into a microwave oven etc. and performing heat processing is demonstrated.
When the packaging bag 12 is put in a microwave oven or the like and heated, the water contained in the contents 8 evaporates as water vapor 10 as shown in FIG. 13, and this vapor and air mix to form the packaging bag 12. The pressure inside rises. Therefore, the unstretched film 3 starts to extend in a direction perpendicular to the cutting line 5 as shown in FIG. 14 while spreading the stretched film 2 and the outer heat-insulating flexible sheet 13 bonded together.
When the pressure in the packaging bag 12 further rises, the broken portion 5 of the stretched film 2 spreads, and a cut occurs in the outer heat-insulating flexible sheet 13 adhered to the stretched film. Further, the stretched area of the unstretched film 3 spreads, and when the low-melting heat sealant 4 is applied, it is melted, and when the release agent is applied, it is applied due to its low friction. Peeling between the stretched film 2 and the unstretched film 3 starts from the location where the heat sealant 4 or the release agent is applied as shown in FIG. 11 and 13 and stretched film 2 begin to open.
[0019]
The unstretched film 3 tries to stretch after the heat-blocking flexible sheet 13 and the stretched film 2 begin to open, but only the portion where the heat seal agent 4 or the release agent is applied is stretched and not applied. Since the other portions do not stretch, stress concentrates at the boundary point between the portion where the heat sealant 4 or the release agent is applied and the portion where it is not applied, and the portion where the cutting line 5 is opened as shown in FIG. The small hole 11 comes to open in the unstretched film 3 at both ends. At this time, when the bag width is L, the distance between the tip a of the reverse arrowhead (FIG. 9) and the bag seal end b (FIG. 9) is preferably 0.2 to 0.3L. (Fig. 12)
[0020]
When the small hole 11 is opened in the unstretched film 3, the water vapor 10 (see FIG. 13) in the packaging bag 12 is discharged to the outside of the packaging bag 12 through the small hole 11 and the portion where the cutting line 5 of the stretched film 2 is opened. To come. When the water vapor 10 is discharged to the outside, the pressure in the packaging bag 12 is reduced, the elongation rate of the unstretched film 3 is also reduced, and the small holes 11 are made small and almost closed.
When the small hole 11 is closed, the pressure in the packaging bag 12 rises again, the unstretched film 3 is stretched to enlarge the small hole 11, and the water vapor 10 in the packaging bag 12 is discharged to the outside again. The pressure drops.
[0021]
Thus, the expansion and contraction of the small hole 11 causes the pressure in the packaging bag 12 to repeatedly decrease and increase, the pressure in the packaging bag 12 is stably maintained in a certain range higher than the normal pressure, and the heating time is longer than the conventional one. It will be shortened.
At this time, when the moisture content of the contents 8 is low, when a water replenishment pad soaked with water is placed in the packaging bag, the action of supplementing the water lost during heating works and a sufficient steaming effect is obtained.
[0022]
Figure 15 shows the packaging bag The form of the packaging material outside the present invention FIG. this As shown in FIG. 15, the packaging bag 14 is produced by stacking a heat-blocking flexible sheet 13 and an unstretched film 3 made of synthetic resin having heat-sealing properties so as to form two layers.
In this way, the heat-insulating flexible sheet 13 is overlaid with the unstretched film 3 made of synthetic resin having the heat sealing property with the cutting line 5 engraved, and the heat-insulating flexible sheet 13 and the unstretched film 3 are bonded to each other with an adhesive or the like. And glue together. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 16, the left and right sides are overlapped with a slight width, and the longitudinal adhesive portion 6 is formed by heat sealing to form a flat cylindrical shape. For example, the front side thereof is connected to the longitudinal adhesive portion 6. The transverse adhesive portion 7 is formed by heat sealing in the orthogonal direction. As a result, the packaging bag 14 whose upper edge in FIG. 16 is not bonded is completed.
[0023]
Contents 8 (see FIG. 15) such as processed foods, various foods, and medical instruments are put into the packaging bag 14 from the unbonded edge side, and the upper lateral adhesive portion 9 in FIG. 16 is heated. When formed by sealing, the contents 8 are packaged in a sealed state by a packaging bag 14 produced by stacking the heat-insulating flexible sheet 13 and the unstretched film 3.
[0024]
Next, the effect | action at the time of putting the packaging bag 14 which packaged the content 8 in the sealed state in this way into a microwave oven etc., and performing heat processing is demonstrated.
When the packaging bag 14 is put in a microwave oven or the like and heated, the water contained in the contents 8 evaporates as water vapor 10 as shown in FIG. 17, and the vapor and air mix to form the packaging bag 14. The pressure inside rises. Therefore, the unstretched film 3 starts to extend in a direction perpendicular to the cutting line 5 as shown in FIGS. 16 and 17 while spreading the outer heat-insulating flexible sheet 13.
When the pressure in the packaging bag 14 further increases, the cut portion 5 of the unstretched film 3 spreads, and a cut occurs in the outer heat-insulating flexible sheet 13. Furthermore, since the cut part 5 of the unstretched film 3 spreads in a right angle direction, the heat-insulating flexible sheet 13 starts to open.
[0025]
When the heat-insulating flexible sheet 13 is opened, the water vapor 10 (see FIG. 17) in the packaging bag 14 is discharged to the outside of the packaging bag 14 through the opening 15. When the water vapor 10 is discharged to the outside, the pressure in the packaging bag 14 is reduced, the elongation rate of the unstretched film 3 is also reduced, and the opening 15 is reduced to a closed state.
When the opening 15 is closed, the pressure in the packaging bag 14 rises again, the cut portion 5 of the unstretched film 3 spreads and the opening 15 of the heat-insulating flexible sheet is widened, and the water vapor 10 in the packaging bag 14 is again removed. It discharges outside and the pressure in the packaging bag 14 falls.
Thus, the expansion and contraction of the opening 15 repeats the increase in the pressure in the packaging bag 14, the pressure in the packaging bag 14 is stably maintained in a certain range higher than the normal pressure, and the heating time is longer than in the past. It will be shortened.
At this time, when the moisture content of the contents 8 is low, when a water replenishment pad soaked with water is placed in the packaging bag, the action of supplementing the water lost during heating works and a sufficient steaming effect is obtained.
[0026]
The laminated film 16 of the present invention having the structure and function described above can be rolled up and used for automatic packaging of foods 17. For example, as shown in FIG. 18, in a horizontal pillow type automatic packaging machine, the food 17 is wrapped in a cylindrical shape by the packaging portion 18 and the back portion is continuously heat-sealed. Subsequently, the part that hits the bag head and the bottom part at right angles to the back seal is heat sealed, and the central part is cut to complete the packaging. The opening portion at the time of microwave heating is located on the surface of the bag, and heat sealing applied to seal the packaging bag is not involved. Food manufacturers can adopt this film without being restricted by the type and method of automatic packaging machines owned by the manufacturer.
【Example】
[0027]
Next, examples in which the packaging material of the present invention is applied to a packaging bag will be described.
Example 1 (Example as a packaging bag)
A low melting point heat seal type packaging bag shown in FIG. 1 was prepared using a 20 μm thick polyester film as a stretched film (outer material) and a 40 μm thick polyethylene film as an unstretched film (inner material). For this test, four tissues (Nepia made by Oji Paper Co., Ltd.) were immersed in tap water, and the contents having a water content of 10 to 40 cc were packaged as contents. The size of the bag is as shown in FIG. This packaging bag was put into a microwave oven (EMO-MRI (HL) type manufactured by Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd., high frequency output 500 W, turntable diameter 300 mm) and heated. Steam was generated with heating, the internal pressure increased, and the state where the small hole 11 was opened was verified. Under the present circumstances, the moisture content of the to-be-packaged body was changed, and the maximum opening width when the stretched film was opened by the cutting line and the time until the small hole was opened by the cutting line were measured. The measurement was performed twice, immediately after the production of the packaging bag (Table 1) and 10 days after the production of the packaging bag (Table 2). The results are as shown in Tables 1 and 2.
[0028]
[Table 1]
Figure 0004817583
[0029]
[Table 2]
Figure 0004817583
In the table above, ◎ in the small hole state is a boundary between the heat sealing agent application surface and the main application surface, and a small hole is opened in the unstretched film as expected, and the water vapor inside the packaging bag is stably discharged outside the packaging bag. State.
[0030]
Next, put various frozen foods in the packaging bag made of the low melting point heat seal type packaging material of the present invention, measure the time until the small hole is opened under the same conditions as above, and observe the state of the small hole did. The results are shown in Table 3 below.
[0031]
[Table 3]
Figure 0004817583
[0032]
As a result of the above tests, the following was found.
1) In both cases of tissue containing moisture and various frozen foods, a small hole is opened as expected from the boundary between the heat-sealing agent-coated surface and the non-coated surface, and the package is heated without rupturing the packaging bag. Completed.
2) As can be seen in the test results for moisture-containing tissue, the opening width at the cutting line of the stretched film is 18 to 22 mm with respect to the heat sealing agent application width of 30 mm, and the range of 60 to 70% of the application width And stable.
3) As is clear from the comparison of Tables 1 and 2, the opening function of the prepackaged bag during heating in the microwave oven is not affected by the passage of time, and the time until the small hole is opened, the opening width, and the opening state are stable. Results are shown.
4) In principle, there is a direct proportional correlation between the moisture content and the time required for opening.
[0033]
Example 2 (Example as a packaging bag)
A foamed polyethylene sheet having a thickness of 300 μm is used as the heat-blocking flexible sheet (outer material), a polyester film having a thickness of 20 μm is used as the stretched film (intermediate material), and a polyethylene film having a thickness of 40 μm is used as the unstretched film (inner material). Thus, a low melting point heat seal type packaging bag shown in FIG. 9 was produced. For this test, four tissues (Nepia made by Oji Paper Co., Ltd.) were immersed in tap water, and the contents having a water content of 10 to 40 cc were packaged as contents. The size of the bag is as shown in FIG. This packaging bag was put into a microwave oven (EMO-MRI (HL) type manufactured by Sanyo Electric Co., Ltd., high frequency output 500 W, turntable diameter 300 mm) and heated. Steam was generated with heating, the internal pressure increased, and the state where the small hole 11 was opened was verified. Under the present circumstances, the moisture content of the to-be-packaged body was changed, and the maximum opening width when opening with the cutting line and the time until the small hole of the stretched film was opened was measured.
Next, put various frozen foods in the packaging bag made of the low melting point heat seal type packaging material of the present invention, measure the time until the small hole is opened under the same conditions as above, and observe the state of the small hole did.
According to each test in Example 2, it was found that the time until the small hole was opened and the maximum opening width at the time of opening were almost the same as those in Example 1.
It has also been clarified that the sensible temperature immediately after heating the microwave oven is such that there is no problem with holding the packaging bag taken out of the microwave oven immediately after heating.
[0034]
Example 3 (Example as a packaged product)
The packaging bag shown in FIG. 15 is formed using a foamed polyethylene sheet having a thickness of 300 μm as the heat-shielding flexible sheet (outer material) and a polypropylene film having a thickness of 40 μm as the unstretched film (inner material) on which cutting lines are engraved. Produced (foamed PE + CPP film with cutting line). A commercially available sweet potato was added to this and sealed to obtain a packaged product. This packaged product was placed in a microwave oven with a high frequency output of 1500 W and heated for 2 minutes. Steam was generated with heating, the internal pressure increased, and eventually, a state was confirmed in which the outer foamed polyethylene sheet was cut and opened. At this time, the weight of the potato before and after heating was measured, the amount of water evaporation lost by heating was calculated, and the center temperature was measured.
In addition, a comparison test with a packaged product using other packaging materials was conducted. That is, comparative verification was performed under the same conditions for a potato put in a polypropylene tray (PP tray) and wrapped in a vinyl chloride wrap (manufactured by Mitsubishi Plastics) and a potato put in a polypropylene tray and heated as it was.
Further, the above three kinds of packaged products were taken out immediately after heating in the microwave oven, and when touched by the experimenter, and further eaten the potatoes taken out from the packaging bag, a sensory test was conducted by touch and taste, respectively. The results are shown in Table 4.
[0035]
[Table 4]
Figure 0004817583
[0036]
Next, commercially available potatoes were put into the above three types of packaging bags or containers to make a packaged product. This packaged product was put in a microwave oven with a high frequency output of 1500 W and heated for 1 minute 30 seconds, and the amount of water evaporation and the center temperature were measured and sensory test was performed as described above. Moreover, the comparison test with the packaging product using another packaging material was done similarly to the above. The results were as shown in Table 5.
[0037]
[Table 5]
Figure 0004817583
In Tables 4 and 5 above, “x” at the sensible temperature indicates that the packaging product immediately after heating the microwave cannot be held with bare hands, and “手” indicates that the packaging bag taken out of the microwave oven immediately after heating is held with bare hands. It shows a state where there is no trouble.
From the above comparative verification, the following was found.
1) From the comparison of the weight reduction rate, it was found that the weight reduction rate of the packaged product using the foamed PE + CPP film with a cutting line was the lowest. Therefore, it was found that the packaging bag using the foamed PE + cut line-containing CPP film heats the bag as the contents while retaining moisture, and the pressure is appropriately adjusted by the opening function. Due to this action, the packaged product using the foamed PE + cut line-containing CPP film does not have a finished finish like a product using other containers, and has a soft feeling.
2) In addition, it was found that the steaming effect of the contents is uniform and is uniform because it is steamed moderately in the heat insulating material.
3) The package core using foamed PE + CPP film with cutting line had the highest core temperature after heating. Accordingly, it has been found that the heat insulating material, which is the outer material of the foamed PE + cutting line-containing CPP film, has an excellent temperature rising effect since it prevents heat scattering.
[0038]
Example 4 (Example as a container lid)

I entered a steaming state. At that time, the juice was stable without spilling. In 90 seconds, the heating was stopped, the container 20 was taken out and opened, and it was confirmed that the oden was sufficiently heated.
[0039]
Example 5 (Example of packaging material having a flap portion)
In the form as shown in FIG. 21, the opening of the polypropylene resin heat-resistant container 20 having a width of 115 mm, a length of 128 mm and a height of 40 mm has a low melting point sealant application part (A) and a cutting line (a), and a flap. The lid film 21 having the part (c) is adhered and sealed by heat sealing. Further, the flap portion (c) was adhered to the side surface of the container 20 with an adhesive 22 as shown in FIG. When printing was performed on the entire surface of the lid film 21 and the printable area was measured, the print area of only the lid portion (upper surface) was 147.2 cm. 2 And the area of the side surface of the container is 102.4 cm. 2 Met. Therefore, the total printing area is 249.6cm 2 It became. That is, the packaging material having the flap portion (c) has a printable area of 1.696 times that of the packaging material not having the flap portion, and the amount of merchandise information is increased by 69.6%.
